Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 977 - 975: Dark Celestial Demon Saint

"Chu Ming, there's a mid-level demon saint near the Chaos Copper Mother!"

Suddenly, Xiao Ai screamed in Chu Ming's mind.

"What? A mid-level demon saint?"

Chu Ming's face immediately darkened. With a lower-tier demon saint, he could still maneuver and engage, but against a mid-level demon saint, he absolutely didn't have the strength to contend!

An ordinary mid-level demon saint is equivalent to the cultivation of Fourth Heaven to Sixth Layer in the Saint Dao, but in the Buried God Canyon, the combat power of a mid-level demon saint has definitely reached the terrifying Seventh Heaven of the Saint Dao!

Facing a mid-level demon saint, he was surely on a path to death!

"But don't worry, that mid-level demon saint seems to have encountered some issues!"

Xiao Ai pondered slightly, and said delicately.

Whoosh!

Chu Ming's figure flashed, and his speed accelerated a bit more, instantly falling into the domain of the Dark Heaven Demon Saint!

"Damn it!"

The Ghost Cry Demon Saint watched Chu Ming's figure disappear into the demonic cloud, his face hesitant, his eyes showing a trace of struggle!

For demons, territorial awareness is extremely serious, let alone for a mid-level demon saint. If he trespassed into the territory of the Dark Heaven Demon Saint, being discovered would likely mean death, even if he was also a demon!

"Hmph, I'll let him go for now. If the Dark Heaven Demon Saint finds him, he'll die even faster!"

After a moment of hesitation, the Ghost Cry Demon Saint decided not to continue the pursuit, as the might of the Dark Heaven Demon Saint was deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts!

...

"The Ghost Cry Demon Saint didn't pursue, it seems he's wary of that mid-level demon saint!"

Seeing the Ghost Cry Demon Saint not catching up, Chu Ming felt no relief in his heart; instead, his mood grew heavier!

If the Ghost Cry Demon Saint had chased him, it would mean that the mid-level demon saint was not strong enough to deter the Ghost Cry Demon Saint. But the Ghost Cry Demon Saint's decision to retreat indicated that the mid-level demon saint's strength far surpassed his, reaching a level that deterred him completely!

Whoosh!

"Chu Ming, I sense the aura of the Chaos Copper Mother, it should be in that cave ahead!"

Xiao Ai said excitedly. Upon hearing Xiao Ai's words, Chu Ming looked up and instantly saw a terrifying pitch-black cave. Its diameter was at least a hundred meters, with countless demonic qi rolling out, extremely sinister. Calling it a cave was somewhat of an understatement; it was more like a huge palace!

Because, embedded on the cave walls was a metallic-looking ore, flickering with terrifying light!

"That mid-level demon saint should be in this cave!"

Chu Ming mused.

"You must enter the tiger's den to catch its cubs!"

With slight hesitation, Chu Ming gritted his teeth and charged toward the pitch-black cave. The demonic waves within surged like a giant mouth, as if intending to swallow everything!

Boom!

As soon as he entered the pitch-black cave, countless black starlights emerged around, lighting up the cave dimly. Chu Ming's gaze swept over the cave without spotting any other demons!

The territorial sense among demons is very strong. In the domain of the Dark Heaven Demon Saint, basically, no other demon saint dared to approach, let alone his lair!

"That mid-level demon saint seems to be in some trouble, which is our chance. As long as we seize the Chaos Copper Mother, we'll leave the Buried God Canyon immediately!"

Xiao Ai reminded.

"In some trouble?"

Chu Ming asked skeptically.

"I'm not entirely sure. I just sense that the mid-level demon saint's aura is chaotic, with a hint of going berserk!"

Xiao Ai hurried to explain.

Whoosh!

Chu Ming applied his lightweight skill, with soul power sweeping discreetly around, not daring to be overly conspicuous!

Splish splash!

The sound of flowing water came from not far away, accompanied by an extremely intense stench of blood. As Chu Ming moved toward the sound, he soon saw a blood-red river flowing across the cave's stone walls!

In this river, not only did blood flow, but also eerie white bones and severed limbs. The stench arose from the Blood River.

"Hmm?"

Chu Ming looked up and his pupils involuntarily contracted. On the other side of the Blood River lay a horrific demon, entirely pitch-black, sprawling on the ground. It seemed to be resting, or perhaps cultivating!

Its body was like a small mountain, and with each breath, blasts of fiery air gushed from its nostrils, reverberating rapidly in the void, terrifying beyond compare!

"Is this the mid-level demon saint?"

Chu Ming stared at the body of the Dark Heaven Demon Saint, filled with shock in his heart. Just standing before the Dark Heaven Demon Saint, he could feel an overwhelming aura sweeping towards him, far more potent than the aura of the Ghost Cry Demon Saint!

"This mid-level demon saint is definitely top-tier among mid-level demon saints, perhaps not far from advancing to a higher-level demon saint!"

Chu Ming silently said to himself.

"The courage of this mid-level demon saint is truly extraordinary!"

At this moment, Xiao Ai suddenly said.

"Why?"

Chu Ming asked back, as he could also feel the chaotic aura of the mid-level demon saint. Despite its overwhelming aura, there was an underlying sense of fragility within.

"This mid-level demon saint seems to have acquired a large piece of Celestial Demon Bone by accident. It intends to graft this bone onto itself, but the bone is too immense, containing a trace of the celestial demon's consciousness, causing conflict between the celestial demon bone and itself. Thus, it is sealing its mind, focusing wholeheartedly on integrating the celestial demon bone!"

Xiao Ai explained calmly.

"Grafting the celestial demon bone onto itself?"

Hearing Xiao Ai's words, Chu Ming couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling astonished by the mid-level demon saint's audacity!

The Celestial Demon Bone is the fundamental bone of a celestial demon, with their bodies being unimaginably colossal, not to mention those in the Divine Dao Realm. Each fundamental bone contains celestial demon consciousness!

The few celestial demon bones Chu Ming had obtained were considered small pieces. It was even rumored that the whole Buried God Canyon was transformed from the celestial demon's body!

"However, if it successfully integrates, this mid-level demon saint would become extraordinary, capable of at least breaking through to the Divine Dao Realm, becoming a demon god. Such an opportunity is not something ordinary demon saints can resist!"

Xiao Ai continued to explain.

Scanning his gaze, Chu Ming immediately noticed a pale golden bone on the chest of the Dark Heaven Demon Saint, measuring seven or eight basin sizes. A terrifying pressure emanated from this pale golden bone!

This must be the Celestial Demon Bone!

Chu Ming was equally envious of the celestial demon bone. If he obtained it and absorbed its energy, his Star Undying Body could at least reach the Fifth Layer!

However, Chu Ming could only fantasize, as he estimated that if he so much as touched the celestial demon stone, the Dark Heaven Demon Saint would detect it, leaving him with no chance of escape!
